JEFBOT.144_Hunger Pains
The Cornfather’s back! It hasn’t been that long since the last time we saw him, but it feels like I haven’t drawn him in ages. As much as I loved drawing cel in the previous storyline, it was kind of nice to get back to drawing jefbot and the Cornfather, up to their old shenanigans once again.
Consider this one an epilogue to the cel Saga.
I would have gone for the food first, too. ^_^
heheh. good choice, Shan.
Hehe..Meep
Good comic
thanks, TadBot!
As soon as I saw the name of this strip, it made me think of the SNL skit, Lazy Sunday. “But first my hunger pains are stickin’ like duct tape.
Let’s hit up Magnolia and mack on some cupcakes.
No doubt that bakery’s got all da bomb frostins.
I love those cupcakes like McAdams loves Gosling!” and the middle panel had me laughing so hard. Between the red background (Kinda Kill Bill-ish) to everyone’s expression in that panel was priceless! (Especially Abraxas’!) Another awesome strip! Meep!
Had to add, that “AIIEEEEE!” from Cornfather– does he have a bit of Cajun in him?!?
(that made me laugh hardest!)
ha! i *love* that song, Spanky! actually, that whole “The Lonely Island” album is pretty good. glad you liked that middle panel, too; drawing the Cornfather terrified is always fun.
oh, and the “AIIEEEEE!!!” is a scream i lifted from many a “Calvin & Hobbes” – my favorite comic strip.
Brilliant!
thanks, KF!
Perfect strip. I imagine Cornfathers terrified screech reaching untold pitches, much higher a note than a man normally ought to be able to make. Dogs perk their ears in curiosity even several blocks over.
you’d be right about the Cornfather’s scream there, Jed; in addition to alarming animals, it’ll crack any crystal in the near vicinity.
Love it…LOVE IT!!!
awesome. thanks, JP!
Meep.
meep!
Lol. Well done
glad you dug it, Nate.
Another one to make me laugh out loud in my very quiet office and get stared at. This is now my background, however not-HR appropriate. Love the 2nd panel.
meep.
i’m happy you’re breaking the stillness of your office with a laugh, Jennery! and that’s cool you can set your own background on your computer there (even being non-HR appropriate!), since “the suits” have disabled that functionality where i work.
I hate to be a grammar Nazi but it’s hunger pangs.. Great strip anyway. Poor Cornfather.
glad you liked it, DaughterJudy! and about the “hunger pains” – that’s just some “punniness” for the title. you’ll notice “hunger pangs” is used properly within the strip.
MORE PAINT!
that was an exclamation not a request
ha! i promise, there’ll be less paint in the next strip, Vee!
Really funny, bot. Who knew you could throw some “horror” into your comic strip? I love how the red paint has lived through all these strips just so you could get to this punchline. The colors in this one are awesome and Abraxas looks so adorable in it but not as adorable as the knife.
Great work, brother!
how did you know that the whole “cel” arc was just a set-up for this strip, Michael!?
meat, meat, meat!
meep, meep, meep!
I LOVE the shine in the knife! Excellent job as always Jefbot! I love your eyes in that frame too! Rock on Jefbot!
thanks, funnyshaffer. i’m rockin’ on.
Take the sandwiches, leave the paint.
okay.
Food first always!
i agree, Mary – i’m hungry now!
I would have said showers first. You would hate to get paint in the sandwich.
yeah, but then you’d have to contend with a hungry ferret, eleventeen.
Jeff Shootzee stars in: Yes! You *ARE* Chopped Liver!
In theaters this Summer…
i’d rather be a hero sandwich, reynard61.
spanky is right…abraxas really look like terrifying…lol…..
are you surprised, knowing he came from Xinda, JF3!?
I bet the Cornfather thought JEFbot finally caved in to his dormant dark side. One of those “Always talked about it, but never took seriously” moments, but hey, at least ‘bot keeps him on his toes. xD
true that, Foxmouse. could be the Cornfather bought into the media hype that video games make a person psychotic and homicidal!
I can’t believe I just read all the way through your archives! Consider me hooked. Glad I discovered a new, AMAZING webcomic!
awww, i *really* appreciate that, RinaRaiinbowlicious! reading through the archives is no small task either, now that there are almost 150 strips in there. glad to have you on board and thanks for the comment!
I think everybody else has said it. Great strip Bot. I loved the eyes, the knife and the way abraxas looks in the second panel, all with his teeth out and everything.
thanks, Eptha. i like Abraxas in his ferocious-mode, too.
That middle panel made really made me LOL while I’m suppose to be working. Keep em up!
awesome, Tystarr! reading JEFbot while you’re supposed to be working is *always* approved of.
Haha xDD Love it! Nah I didn’t get a new comp ((I wish)) The cable was messed up and wouldn’t charge. x[
ah. well, i’m glad it’s in working condition now, Natalie. i’d be experiencing serious withdrawals if i was cut off from my computer.
Hell yeah Meep!
meep! back atcha, CheddarMan!!!
lol…OMG…i forgot that abraxas was a gift from Xinda.no wonder it attacked cornfather……lol……
yes…….the similarity is there……..
also….you are right about the coffee toast and jam being the perfect breakfast….emmmmmmm…nom nom nom
still cant get the image of cornfather AIEEEEEEEE! out of my head….now im laughing alone in my office..they think im crazy
yeah, Abraxas is all cute at the moment, but never forget his origins, JF3!!! and i think my office-mates think i’m crazy too, so welcome to the club! i think going a little crazy at work is the only way to stay sane.
i dont think ferrets actully makes that sound, but what the heck. meep
Ferrets go “dook” not “meep”
